Wish granted. Cockpit needs work.

Wow!

Just because it was owned by Elvis.

No engine and the cockpit has been scavenged for avionics.

Unless someone wants to invest another million dollars getting this vintage aircraft flightworthy again it will never fly again.

Bid $50K ($20K would be more reasonable) and then close off the cockpit and sell tour tickets where it sits. Roswell gets plenty of tourist from the alien/UFO crowd. It might make money.

Did he ever use it. Was his tushy ever on that toilet?

I would say the cockpit pales in comparison to engine issues. I wonder if anyone is doing a 2 engine fan conversion to a jetstar to replace the gas guzzling four original engines? If it is to fly again it will cost a bundle.
